A small village south-east of Pocklington, close to farmland, woodland around Allerthorpe Common and local lakeside leisure.
Allerthorpe is a small East Riding village south-east of Pocklington, between the market town and the low-lying countryside around the Pocklington Canal.
Its older centre is formed by traditional houses, farms and village lanes, while nearby woodland, lakes and open fields give the settlement a distinctly rural setting.
The village sits in a transitional landscape where the open Vale of York begins to meet the wooded edge of the Wolds. Its compact scale and low-density layout preserve a clear sense of separation from nearby Pocklington.
Allerthorpe Common, the surrounding plantations and the area's lakes give this part of the Pocklington countryside a greener, more sheltered appearance than the exposed chalk country farther north.
